About St Anne's CofE Primary School

St Anne's CofE Primary School in Trafford is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, with a Church of England character. It currently has 220 pupils against a capacity of 256, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23.4%, which is notably higher than the national average of around 23.8% and suggests the school serves a relatively diverse socioeconomic intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 73 applications for just 16 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.56. All 16 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the sheer volume of total applications means many families will be disappointed. This level of interest signals a school that is well-regarded locally, even if it isn't the highest-ranked in the borough.
